Wouldn't Start
My truck wouldn't start this morning? It was -6 F or -22 C outside, I had it plugged in. I cycled the grid heater and it worked good and the light went out after but all I could hear when I went to start it was a click sound??? I cycled the key 8-10 times before the starter finally engaged and it turned over fast and started right up! Is it the starter relay?
Thanks

Sounds like a bad starter. Maybe frozen water in starter . Im sure dealer will change starter first. Its going to be hard to get them to do it though if you cant get them to see the problem first hand good luck

Sounds like the starter contacts, but with a new truck it could be several things. My starter wire was loose, you might try just tighten enverything up, but when it is that cold just take it to the dealer and have them do it.
Have them check the main starter power wire nut, or the big nut behind the wheel.
